CEIAG: Careers Education, Impartial Advice and Guidance

CEIAG is an important part of our 5 year Personal Development Programme. Our aim is to raise pupil awareness of the world of work and to equip them with the information and skills to be able to make good choices. Indeed we want to empower pupils to make the right choices for their post 16 education and beyond.

To find out more please browse the links from this page and make sure that you look at ‘A Guide for Parents and Pupils’. This document shows you how we are supporting your son or daughter in their future career choices. Our CEAIG programme is also on our webpage.

Throughout the year we will use the school newsletter, letters home and this webpage to keep you informed. Should you need any advice or help, please contact us:

Entitlement

Crofton Academy believes that: 

• pupils will be motivated to raise their aspirations, attainments and attendance if they are offered quality and impartial information, advice and guidance about their future training and career choices;
• pupils have an entitlement to a CEIAG programme which empowers  them to take control over the decisions they make relating to career pathways;
• pupils have an entitlement to CEIAG support that ensures that they all get a good start and are well prepared for the next stage in their education, training or employment;
• pupils should be taught a range of employability skills, so that they are well prepared for the next stage of their education, employment, self-employment or training;
• clear strategies and personalised support must be provided to all pupils, in order to ensure that their aspirations are high and that the paths they take suit their academic needs; and
• advice must be transparent, impartial, shared and understood by parents (and their carers) so that informed and genuine choices can be made by the pupils and so that their destinations strongly support their career plans.
